what do you have for the env var CONVEX_DEPLOYMENT
CONVEX_DEPLOYMENT=dev:example-234-22
@Lee
Yeah that doesn't look valid. Where did it come from?
it should look like
CONVEX_DEPLOYMENT=dev:wandering-fish-513
also lmk if if you have a CONVEX_DEPLOY_KEY set, since normally you don't want that to be set for npx convex devCONVEX_DEPLOYMENT=dev:wandering-fish-513 i have it like this yet it's not working
and i don't have deply key but i tried to enable it and see and it's not working still
i have a prod database it's working fine
but the dev one it's the one giving me the headech and i i can't change the schema for the prod as well
@Lee
Can you do
npx convex dev --configure to reconnect it to the project
but when i close it and go to use npx convex dev
@lee
and thanks you for your help
That's quite strange. Are you sure the CONVEX_DEPLOY_KEY env variable isn't set?
what convex version are you using?
and no i don';t have it in .env
@lee
Can you describe more about your environment? What env vars do you have in .env and .env.local? I don't understand why it's parsing your project name as a deployment name
and i got some extra ones in prod
@lee
Are you self hosting?
no i'm using vercel
Oh right. Curious what DATABASE_URL is, but nothing else here should affect convex
i have two databases mongo and convex
it was working but suddenly it stopped
and if you
echo $CONVEX_DEPLOY_KEY it's empty?yes
Curious, do you get any hits running this in your repo root:
(the space before fcit-final is intentional)
Also what version of Convex are you running

It's almost like the value of CONVEX_DEVELOPMENT is somehow including the comment. Check here:
https://github.com/erquhart/convex-js/blob/3f46b0a4b174076b6baf01a25df5994f22e97727/src/cli/lib/deployment.ts#L40
If the comment is included, the value would be
fcit-final, encoded to %20fcit-final
I know we already asked the value of that env var, but maybe it's different somehow when the cli is reading it
And if this is happening why on earth wouldn't it be happening to everyone, also.
@Yehia can you get the convex version
npm ls convexi would also be curious if your .env.local is using a weird encoding, or something else that would make it be parsed oddly by this regex https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv/blob/59d9e8719cda45990662821823a375f4e4257073/lib/main.js#L9
sorry for being late it was the week end here in egypt however no matter fact i have the .env.local automaticly created by convex
@Lee
@erquhart
is there is a way to reset the whole thing i don't mind losing the dev data
have you tried doing an
rm .env.local ?
Resetting the server state doesn't seem like it would help, since the issue looks to be in your client configuration
I am curious why you have two vars starting with NEXT_PUBLIC_CONVEX_ , although i don't know why that would cause this issue@lee i did delete it and still same issue
Okay what if you delete the comment from the end of the line in .env.local ? (delete the hash # and everything after it)
@Yehia
sorry for being late but le me try it
@lee
@lee it's working now i don't how but when i changed to pwsh insted of cmd it's working
I'm not familiar with windows shells. Can you link to the one you were using? I still don't understand why the env variable wouldn't work, but I'm glad you reached a solution
i was using windows cmd
the new one is pwsh
is powershell but with some extra features
can i ask you something right now i have an endpoint and i want to run a mutation inside the endpoint it's an async function can you tell me how to do so cuz when i use useMutation it will tell me it can't be used inside an async function
@lee
What kind of endpoint is this?
And what kind of convex client do you have
this sounds like it could be a new #support-community thread btw
i have two databases and i got a function called syncUser in convex the thing is that i'm only using convex to store admins so when creating a profile in mogodb it checks the role if it's an admin i want it ti fire up
it
so you want to create a convex client in the mongodb endpoint? like this https://docs.convex.dev/api/classes/browser.ConvexHttpClient
Class: ConvexHttpClient | Convex Developer Hub
browser.ConvexHttpClient
more like this
this sounds like a good candidate for another #support-community or #ask-ai thread
thanks for your time btw
